Synopsis (short abstract) Cet article décrit la conversion du thésaurus AGROVOC dans sa forme traditionnelle en un service d'ontologies dans le domaine de l'agriculture (Agricultural Ontology Service/Concept Server AOS/CS). Ce Serveur de concepts (AOS/SC) est un entrepôt multilingue de concepts dans ce domaine proposant des relations ontologiques et une terminologie étendue et sémantiquement riche. L'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture, FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) a récemment d éveloppé le modèle pour ce nouveau système dans le langage d’ontologies : OWL. Dans cet article, nous décrivons l'objectif de cette conversion et l’utilisation du langage OWL ; nous mettons en évidence en particulier les principales fonctionnalités de ce modèle OWL. Nous avons voulu expliquer comment il évolue et diffère de l'approche traditionnelle des thesauri.

    From AGROVOC to the Agricultural Ontology Service / Concept Server
    An OWL model for creating ontologies in the agricultural domain

    This paper illustrates the conversion from a traditional thesaurus in agriculture (AGROVOC) to a new system, the Agricultural Ontology Service Concept Server (AOS/CS). The Concept Server will serve as a multilingual repository of concepts in the agricultural domain providing ontological relationships and a rich, semantically sound terminology. The Food and Agriculture Organization recently developed the underlying model for this new system in the Web ontology language OWL. In this paper, we desc ribe the purpose of this conversion and the use of OWL and highlight in particular the core features of the developed OWL model. We go on to explain how it evolves and differs from the traditional thesaurus approach.

    The main objective of the AGROVOC Concept Server (CS)is to create a collaborative reference platform and a one-stop shop for a pool of commonly used concepts related to agriculture, containing terms, definitions and relationships between terms in multiple languages derived from various sources. This paper aims to address the issues.

    Ontology plays an important role in the enhancement performance of systems, addressing issues such as knowledge sharing, knowledge aggregation as well as information retrieval and question answering. This paper presents the AGROVOC Concept Server Workbench (ACSW) for multilingual ontological concept construction and maintenance. The ACSW is a web 2.0 based application consisting of two main functionalities that are user management and ontological knowledge management (i.e. concept, sch eme, relationship, export, search, validate and consistency check) in order to maintain the knowledge acquisition life-cycle in food and agriculture domain. Knowledge is stored in the form of multilingual concept hierarchy and also kept in the OWL format in order to exchange between machines and to do reasoning. This workbench uses Protégé API as an OWL framework. Moreover the Ontology Game conceptual framework is also presented in order to acquire ontology terms more pleasant.
